Cross-cultural Challenges in International Management
Author: Bruno Amann
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 100019485X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
The development of international business and of globalization in every field of activity requires the interaction of individuals and groups with diverse cultural, religious, ethnic and social characteristics in different institutional contexts. Cross-cultural Challenges in International Management addresses the various difficulties that may impede smooth communication and cooperation of those involved in such interactions. It examines what types of resources are mobilized to overcome such difficulties. The cultural and societal challenges of international management must be considered at different levels, the one of strategy, which the first part of the book is devoted to, but also that of management and business practices, addressed in the third part of the book. Both strategic decisions and daily business practices, however, in the particularly fluctuating and incompletely defined international context, gain from being framed by ethical and corporate social responsibility, which the second part of this book is devoted to. Cross-cultural Challenges in International Management provides an analysis of specific situations revealing such cultural or societal challenges. Thus, the reader will benefit not only from advanced theoretical knowledge in the field, but also from practical applications in various professional context and various countries. Practitioners, students in various fields of social sciences, particularly in management, communication, international relations, and researchers will widely benefit from this book.

Management interculturel et styles d'apprentissage
Author: Christophe Barmeyer
Publisher: Presses de l'Université Laval
ISBN: 2763713904
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : fr
Pages : 290
Book Description
Le succès des coopérations et des fusions internationales dépend d'une manière décisive de l'efficacité de la collaboration des managers concernés. Dans des situations interculturelles d'interaction, la gestion de projet ou les équipes multiculturelles par exemple, les valeurs opposées, les modes de pensée et de comportement différents des collaborateurs et managers peuvent entraîner malentendus et conflits, mais aussi générer des complémentarités. Les spécificités individuelles et culturelles des modes de pensée et de comportement d'étudiants et de managers français, allemands et québécois ont été étudiés en se basant sur une analyse des styles d'apprentissage à l'aide du Learning Style Inventory (LSI). Cette recherche montre que le développement de compétences transcendant les frontières et la faculté d'intégration au sein de groupes de travail internationaux sont étroitement liés au profil de la personnalité des collaborateurs concernés. A l'aide de leur profil LSI, ils peuvent se positionner au sein de leurs équipes respectives et, en tenant compte de la culture d'entreprise et du pays, modifier leur comportement par des expériences d'apprentissage. La connaissance de styles culturels typiques et l'aptitude à combiner des caractéristiques comportementales individuelles pour en faire des forces complémentaires fournissent ainsi d'importantes aides d'orientation et des esquisses de solution pour les défis que présente le management interculturel. L'auteur associe les résultats de sa recherche empirique sur les styles d'apprentissage à des considérations systématiques sur le comportement managérial et sur l'application de modes de formation interculturels. Les résultats obtenus peuvent être transposés sur divers modèles de configurations interculturelles.

PROMOTION DE LA SANTE ET AUTONOMISATION DANS LE CONTEXTE AFRICAIN
Author: David HouŽto
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1291761152
Category : Reference
Languages : fr
Pages : 327
Book Description
Le terme promotion de la santé en Afrique, près de 30 ans après l'adoption de la Charte d'Ottawa, continue d'avoir des connotations complètement hors du sens que lui confère cette charte. Cela n'est pas étonnant quand on sait que la notion de santé dans ce contexte africain équivaut à la lutte contre la maladie à travers les soins de santé dispensés par des professionnels de la santé dans des formations sanitaires et les hôpitaux. L'évolution que connait le continent depuis quelques décennies est de donner un peu plus de place à la communauté à travers les relais communautaires dans une participation communautaire vidée de son contenu, car le pouvoir n'est jamais passé entre les mains des communautés.C'est au vu de tout ceci que le présent ouvrage à sa raison d'être pour expliquer les fondements de l'autonomisation communautaire et de la promotion de la santé avec leur importance pour la région africaine en proie aux mauvais indicateurs de santé comparativement aux autres régions du monde.
